DEREncode

DEREncode

Documentation

#include <cryptopp/cryptlib.h>

DEREncode encodes an object using ASN.1 DER encoding. Calling Save on a class object usually calls DEREncode. If it is too inefficient to encode an object using DER, then consider using BEREncode instead. The companion to DEREncode is BERDecode.

Each class object has their own format for encoding. The documentation for the class usually specifies the standard used to encode an object.

Also see Keys and Formats wiki page.

Sample

using namespace CryptoPP;

// Grab a Generator
AutoSeededRandomPool prng;

// Specify modulus, accept e = 17. 128-bits is artificially small.
RSAES_OAEP_SHA_Decryptor Decryptor( prng, 128 /*, e */ );
RSAES_OAEP_SHA_Encryptor Encryptor( Decryptor );

// BER Encoded Keys
std::string pbkey, pvkey;

// Hex Encoder
HexEncoder encoder;

// Public Key
encoder.Attach( new StringSink( pbkey ) );
Encryptor.GetPublicKey().Save( encoder );

// Private Key
encoder.Attach( new StringSink( pvkey ) );
Encryptor.GetPrivateKey().Save( encoder );
